Feeling Untouchable

Feeling untouchable is an emotional sensation or a particular state of mind that is beyond attack or criticism of any sort. It is a kind of moral sensitivity especially in relation to personal principles or dignity that is immuned to certain attacks or criticisms.

Criticisms are bound to occur in almost every setting or aspect of the human race because humans would always be humans. Nothing ever satisfy us. Our wants are unlimited and insatiable. We want this, we want that. Some of us want it black, and some want it white. Some want it hot, and some want it cold. Some want it tall, and some want it short. Some want it slim, and some want it fat. Some want it mild, and some want it harsh. Some want it simple, and some prefer it hard. While some say you are good, some others say your good is not good enough. While some say slow down, some others echo increase the speed.

Even with a house or an estate well furnished, tasteful, and lovely to behold, you would still see somebody that would have a different opinion or sing a different song about it. And then you work so hard, the best way you can, there would still be some that would say you are a workaholic, compelling you to take some rest. Then you decide to take a rest, the next thing you would hear is you are relaxing too much. Perhaps you restructure or resolve not to sleep much, and then it is tagged insomania. Then you turn the table around, and what you would hear is keep on sleeping or even go to bed (meaning one is sleeping too much).

What about when I try to put some call across? The response I get both expressly or implied is please call me back later, I am very busy right now. And then I make a "U" turn, and it becomes: you don't call any longer. And I am like me? Really? Suddenly they forget those times you were trying to reach out, and then it looked like you were bordering them with calls. Now you decided to make some adjustments, and some become uncomfortable with it. This is the kind of world that we live in. Nothing ever satisfies, unless you are thankful and contented with what you have, while you look forward to better days ahead.

Criticisms are in various shapes and levels, but beyond criticism, there is a higher life which is the life of the "Untouchable". To attain this height, you must have gone through certain processes as well as imbibe certain virtues. It is these virtues that enable you build tough skin over certain criticisms. Anyone who is waiting to have a smooth ride without criticism is not ready to grow. It is these criticisms and the ability to manage them without losing yourself that makes you stand out (untouchable).

Are you feeling untouchable like me? Then, you must have passed some test. I call it freedom test. It is not in any ways saying one has arrived. What it is saying is that: I am a better me. I am not who I used to be. I am still evolving (growing). I am still pressing on until I reach my desired haven (goal). #State of mind #Beyond criticism #Freedom #Better me #Still pressing on #Feeling untouchable.

Freedom (Association, Speech, Movement...)

I like the following words I tag three in one word amidst other words that fosters freedom. They are Freedom of Association, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Movement and so on.

Freedom of Association is the condition of being free or having the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints. Freedom of Speech is a civil right that gives one the right to express his/herself in communication by word of mouth. Freedom of Movement is a civil right that allows you move from one place, location or position to the other without fear of intimidation or threat whatsoever.

Just imagine how life would have been if there were no certain freedoms. Imagine you not being free to associate (interact), communicate, make new friends, speak when you need to speak, act when you need to act, express yourself the best way you can, move from one point or place to the other without fear or threat whatsoever, life would be so boring and worthless, having no meaning or sense of purpose. In fact, you don't want to be in such situation because that is what I call imprisonment.

Imprisonment is not only when one go into physical prison alone. Anyone, person (s), people, group of people who is living on planet earth without freedom of association, speech, movement, as well as other basic freedom, can be likened to living in prison. If we look at it deeply, you would discover that the difference between those who are in prison and those who are not, is the freedom one party enjoys compared to the other. So, any place etc, where certain rights or basic freedom are not being enjoyed, no matter how we try to paint it, package it, fine tune it, and make it look sophisticated, it is still imprisonment. We should not wait to go into a physical prison before we know and understand what it means to be in prison.

Freedom of association, speech, movement, and the likes doesn't mean there are no regulations as to how it should be used, but rather it tends to emphasize the essence of living which are the necessary freedom put in place. Come to think of it, how do you go about your daily activities, work business and what have you if these freedoms are not put in place. Believe you me, if there are no security of these basic freedoms, certain activities, business, work etc, would not thrive.

Now you know the essence of these basic freedoms and needs for emphasis. If you don't speak out when you need to speak out appropriately, or act when you need to act accordingly, what you are trying to say is that you are in a semi prison, and I don't want to believe so, because prison experience is not what you want to add to your resume. So be free. Speak out when you need to, associate, make movements where necessary, exercise your right to basic freedom. #Freedom of Association #Without externally imposed restraints #Freedom of Speech #Communication by word of mouth #Freedom of Movement #Movement from one location to another #Imprisonment #Absence of basic freedom.

Respect People's Rights

What if that person doesn't make much sense at all, does his/her rights still needs to be respected? What if we don't like the person's face, do we still need to respect the person's rights? What if the person's right is not favourable to us, does it still need to be respected? What if the person is not as educated or sophisticated as we are, do we still respect such people's rights? What if these set of people are the weak ones among us, who don't have people to speak for them, should their rights still be respected? What if I decide to do my thing my own way, the way I feel it should be done, not minding if others like it or not, should it still be respected? What if my lifestyle and thought pattern is way far different from the other person's own, does it still need to be respected? What if you choose a road map for yourself that you want to follow, and certain persons seem not to approve of it, does it still need to be respected? What if I have limited time to respond to certain events in my life, and the time frame does not tally with that of others, does my rights still need to be respected? What if I don't meet up with certain requirements others expects of me, does my rights still need to be respected? It could just be that I like doing things my way away from the crowd, does my rights still need to be respected? What if my body system requires me to take a rest when others expect me to be up and doing, does my rights still need to be respected? What if you don't show up due to circumstance beyond your control, do you still have rights to be protected?

Each of us has rights to do what we please, restricted by the rights of others. Rights are not there to make you ungovernable, but the rights are there to protect your interest. These rights are also there to serve as check and balances. This is because some persons who feel they have arrived, may tend to be manipulative, thereby treating others as if they don't count in the human race. Off course, you count! It doesn't matter the state or status you find yourself, nobody has the right to treat you like trash or use you at will when you realise you have rights that needs to be respected, especially rights of choice. Yes! You have rights!!

Respecting people's rights doesn't mean you are weak or not firm. Instead it shows that you are wise, knowledgeable, and learned. It also shows that you understand and appreciate the fact that humans are different in so many ways. In fact, even if it is someone who is not learned in quote but understands rights, and how to deal with people's rights, such person (s) is counted among the learned unlike the person who claim to be learned but doesn't understand jack about human rights. The difference is clear!

Here is the high points of the matter! Be original. Be rational. Uphold the right virtues. Live your life the best way you can. Respect people's rights because that is the only way you can appreciate people's differences. #Respect #People #Rights #Interest #Check and balances #Wise #Knowledgeable #Learned.

Difference

Difference is the quality of being unlike or dissimilar in approach, thoughts, mindset, words..., and actions. It is that unique nature that makes two people unlike in nature or quality or form or degree.

No two persons think or reason alike. We all think or reason differently, hence the reason why we cannot process thought patterns the same way or act the same way, because while one person may be thinking one way, the other may be thinking in another way.

Sometimes these differences in humans come together in harmony. Some other times, it tend to individuality in style. Sometimes, it displays unity in diversity. You can tell it in the way we identify with different cultural heritage, belief system, religious affiliations etc, yet heading towards the inevitable destination which is death or life. It is a matter of choice, and it is these choices that determines where we finally end up. So if you want to know where your differences are leading to, check your choices.

Differences are sometimes blessings in disguise as they help to check certain excesses, creating law, order, and balance. It gives people freedom from oppression, opens up your mind and eyes to right of choice, and make you explore, venture..., living life without fear or intimidation because you have the right to do so.

Now the question is: what makes me different from the other person, and how can I utilise these differences in a positive direction?

The day you were born into this world, your arrival has been predestined. You were born to make a difference. Each of us has unique features that can make a difference in our homes, family, society, community, nations, and the world at large. It is now left for us to identify such features and put them to work. At any given time, there's something you are ment to be doing. That is why they say time waits for nobody. But if it is ment to be your time, it would wait for you as long as you align with it.

We are different in so many areas. It is pertinent to know those areas you are different from the other person and try to create harmony. How do I do this?

First, acknowledge your strength and weakness as well as that of the next person or people close to you, creating balance. Second, don't be so much in a hurry to run into conclusions because your strength may be someone else's weakness, and your weakness may be someone else's strength. Third, appreciate your difference from the next person by putting it into anything productive positively. Fourth, your differences shows that you have a right of choice. Fifth, know where to draw the line in that difference and when to create harmony. The lists are unlimited...

In conclusion, life is like a race, and in this race, you would get there before some, and some would get there before you. What really matters is as long as you get there. #Thoughts #Mindset #Approach #Words #Actions #Culture #Tradition #Belief System #Religious affiliations #Difference.

What Sells and Not

It is not uncommon this days to see certain people parade themselves as stumbling blocks in quote, all in the name of trying to get noticed and you are like: is becoming a stumbling block the only way to getting noticed? Thank goodness that this philosophy doesn't sell these days, because if it does, a good number of us would have run into extinction.

To sell is to engage in the activity of puasuading someone to buy. It also means the exchange or deliver for money or its equivalent. Which ever ways you look at it, if there's no affirmation or transactions done, it is as good as saying that selling did not take place.

Selling doesn't have to be by force, neither does it have to be a do or die affair before it can take place. With the right logic, idea, methodology, strategy and approach in place, a simple puassuation could do the miracle. So if anyone, person or group of persons or people have to become a stumbling block, bring down people, wreck businesses etc, just to get noticed or get to the top, then such person (s) does not or has not fully understood the act of selling.

Almost in everything we do, would you find sales. It is either you are selling your person, brand, name, product, goods, services etc. So sales is not just about goods and services as it is all encompassing. Effective sales focus on needs and not on frivolous issues. If any form of sales is centred on attacking people or finding faults in people all the time, then you know something is wrong somewhere because real sales focus on how to meet its worthwhile needs.

There is nothing wrong in trying to sell any form of goods and services, but it is what is sold and how it is being sold that really matters. If a product is not properly packaged, presented or represented, no matter how good such product is, it won't attract the right sales. And even if it does, it would be limited somehow. The same goes for products that is well packed and what have you, in the eyes of people, but in reality, such product turns out to be nothing to write home about. For such product, the rate of turnover would be drastically reduced.

This one is for all those who specialise in unhealthy and adulterated product, and even try to force its sales on its victims against their will or consent. Nothing is done worthwhile that is carried out by force. If it is worthwhile, then it would sell by itself, making force an exceptional case. So whatever you put out for sales, always know that it doesn't have to be an obstruction before it sells. If it has all the requirements needed for effective sales, nothing is strong enough to pin it down. So keep your head up high, be optimistic, and with the right virtues in place as well as the necessary sales mechanism, heaven is sure to be your limit. #Activity #Passuation #Exchange #Logic #Idea #Methodology #Approach #Sales.

Right of Choice

No one has the right of depriving you the right of making choices because humans in the real sense are designed to make choices. How do I know that? Inborn in humans is the will power to choose between right and wrong. This has been from the beginning when man was created and it won't change now. As at then man was given power to call forth those things that be not as though they were. And whatever he named, came into existence (enacted), and it's still trendy even till today. Man always want to be in control! As a matter of fact, the help the creator rendered to man by making him a helpmeet was thrown back to him as an excuse when man ate of the fruit he was not supposed to eat from. Ever since, man has had to do the findings, searchings, which is also likened to using his will power. Even till today, man still exhibit such trait. The only thing the creator does is to guide and advise man to choose life instead of death, while man does the part of choosing.

A right is an abstract idea of that which is due to a person or governmental body by law or tradition or nature. A choice on the other hand is the person or thing chosen or selected. We cannot separate the human race from choices because it is something that is an inbuilt right from creation, and the awareness of these rights make humans more stronger.

However, these rights does not in anyways give man the license to misbehave as there are laid down principles or guidelines to check excesses. Even in the eyes of the law, several rights and freedom exist, only that they are restricted by the rights of others. At this point, let me take some time out to highlight some of the things or areas one can direct his/her choices to:

You can choose to take a break, get refreshed, or do a tour. Rest is part of staying fit for work depending on your work schedule. You can also do a tour as it helps to broaden your horizons. Refreshment is never an understatement, especially when you know just when to do it...

You can choose to be in a particular group or not. It is not compulsory to be in any group if the group is not helping you get better but drains you.

You have a choice as to what to believe in. So many people have what they believe in. So whatever you believe in, be sure it has a positive influence on your value system as well as the people around you.

You have a choice to choose who to get attached to, just the way I have the choice to decide who I let in or let out in my life. There would always be various attachments in one's life. It is the power of choice that enables us get attached to the right ones.

You have a choice to be who you were created to be. This is one of the decisions so many people are yet to make. But the good news is that you have all that it takes to become who you were created to be. It's simple! Go back to the drawing board, and align to the real you, and then the choiced you would emerge. The above are my thoughts, and I believe you have yours too! Be free to explore!! #Abstract idea #Inborn #Inbuilt #Law #Rights #Selected #Chosen #Choices.

Deep Focus

When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see? When things do not appear the way they should, what do you still see? Do you see yourself as a guide, mentor, role model etc, to someone or just an ordinary person? How do you analyse things? Do you see things the way they appear or do you deeply focus? Do you see beyond what the natural eyes can see or do you see what is staring at you in the face?

A deep focus is the central and most intense or profound part of one's attention on something. It refers to great or strong depth of the concentration of one's attention or energy on something such that it goes far down beyond what is seen in the surface. Wherever there is a deep focus, there's always a substantial result. These results don't come ordinarily!

With what is happening around the world today, as well as our immediate environment, community and systems, if there's no deep focus, one is liable to be tossed to and fro by the cunning craftiness of men. So you've got to ask yourself what do I really want and what are the procedures or steps I need to follow or take as well as place my priorities right? You've got to come to the point where you gain total control of what comes in and goes out. It begins with being content with what you have while looking forward to better days. Once that has been settled, it becomes easy to determine the pace.

Focus is relative! While you may be seeing something mind blowing, some other persons may be seeing something different. This is because, why your focus may be that of a deep one, some others may be that of the shallow or surface. This is the major reason why we can not all be the same, and why there's a huge difference between us. We don't reason or think alike!

Two people can be focusing on a thing or solving a thing, yet one comes out better than the other. So why should I compare myself or try to be someone else when my thought pattern is different from such person's thought pattern. Why fret myself when someone is prospering in one thing or the other, when I have the capacity to excell in what I do. Sometimes, we don't take out time to discover who we truly are, and so we want to be like every other person. For the fact that you don't have what that person have now, is not a licence that you won't have it later. Time and chance happen to them all. The best thing to do in this case is to align with the time.

It is either you are influencing a course or being influenced. Deep focus is where you draw the line of what is capable of influencing you. To tell you the truth, where there's no deep focus, it is very easy for someone to be swept off his/her feet. This is because you are not isolated from the system. You live in the system, work in the system, transact business in the system and so on. So tell me, where are you going to run to or hide from if you don't deeply focus?

Facing the realities of life, helps you get rid of soothsayers who are looking for people to take advantage of. But when you are deeply focused, you see things for yourself more clearly, and with the right people around you, you are sure to soar high. #Central #Most intense #Profound #Strong #Great depth #Huge concentration #Deep focus.

Show Up

The term show up has become a popular phrase as it is widely used by almost all and sundry. As popular as it is, so is its definition. To show up in simple terms is to become visible or noticeable. And to become noticeable is to be capable of being detected, easily seen and understandable.

A reasonable amount of success is recorded when you show up. There's a difference between being present in a place and showing up. One can be present in a place and yet invisible. But showing up means you are present and you are visible and noticeable. Each of us has unique presence such that when we show up in areas where we specialise, tremendous things happen. It's now left for us to identify those things we are good at such that when we show up, value is added. I mean showing up in areas of relevance. This links me to the word "excellence", which means being at your best, the best way you can. How do you know people who are excellent at what they do? They don't just make up the number wherever they find themselves, they show up for a good course.

Ssometimes, these responsibilities can be so demanding especially when you have a lot of things to put together or tidy up amidst your rest time, yet even in the midst of all these, you still make out time to show up. Why would you want to make efforts to show up? Let me guess! You know you would be singled out, identifiable, and recognized. In other words, you would be visible or noticeable. Also, there is this confidence that speaks of the capacity you have built over time, meaning that you can deliver at any time when called upon. In addition, whatever you do all the time, unconsciously or consciously, it becomes a way of life to you.

I've always nurtured this belief system for long: if you are good at what you do, don't sweat it out or stress out because you don't need to announce yourself, your works will announce you. And even when you don't want to be noticeable or visible, I mean even when you don't want to show up, you just can't hide or help it. This is because you have carve a nitche for yourself that has come to outlive you such that people look forward to your showing up.

Make no mistakes about it, there are certain persons who if they were to make wishes, they would wish that certain people don't show up, so they can have all the time and space to oppress the weak. But you see, life has a way of balancing off things. And to think that we don't always get everything we wish, makes life even more worthwhile. One of my resolves in life, is to make sure wherever I find myself, I leave a mark, legacy, something to be remembered for, and it has somehow guided my steps (moves) in all my endeavours. So now that we understand what it means to be visible, are we going to show up? Remember, you don't just add to the number, you show up! #Visible #Noticeable #Easily seen #Detectable #Understandable #Presence #Responsibility #Way of life #Show up.

Just Before You Judge

It doesn't take anything away from you to be generous! Neither is it unfair to be kind to people in unusual ways... And I know the popular saying which goes: whatever you do, people must have something to say about it, but just before you judge, it is only wise to think it over again.

To judge is to determine the result of something or an outcome. It means to form an opinion or an estimate of a particular thing in quantities or time. It also means to draw conclusion on a matter or a particular issue.

The human race is designed in such a way that it is very easy to judge people without putting into consideration certain factors that might have played out before such judgements are made. And to think that the people who are very swift in judging others are the ones who dislike judgement itself. As the saying goes: people should try to remove the plank in their eyes before they think of removing the moth in other people's eyes, as no one can effectively remove the moth in someone's eyes without removing the plank in his/her eyes. So therefore, we should be careful how we judge people, so we ourselves are not judged.

Why do you think certain people disagree more often than agree? The answer is simple! They have not known how to manage the word judgement. When we judge more than we understand, misunderstandings thrives. But when we understand more than we judge, compromises are reached. I've learnt through life experiences not to be too swift to judging people when I don't have an idea of what such persons are facing or may be facing. The proper thing to do is to gather your facts or get armed with facts from reliable sources. Until then, it's advisable and wise to keep your cool.

Sometimes, we are prone to judging what we see on the outward or surface, leaving the inward out. Can I announce to you that in some cases, it's not all about the outward appearance or what the eyes can see from the surface but also about the intent of the heart. If the intent of the heart is good (intact), no matter how a person is judged, such persons still come out looking stronger and better than he/she was. But if the intent is wrong, no matter how right the judgement may appear, it won't stand the test of time because someday the truth would be revealed.

The outward and the inward parts has its place in judgement processes. Never judge from the outward appearance alone or on what you can see presently. Sometimes things don't appear the way they seem. It takes a person of wisdom, a matured mind..., and a responsible fellow to be able to decipher certain ambiguity in certain statements as well as process it, interprete it, and make decision on it. The watch word here is to find a way of balancing intents and what the eyes can see. When you are sure you've done your home work (played your part well), you can now make your judgements. #Estimate #Findings #Opinion #Outcome #Facts #Intent #Conclusion #Judgement.

Don't Get Stuck

Why get stuck when you can make options or move on to the next phase or level in life? Why allow situations get you down when you can find your way through such situation and come off in flying colours? To get stuck is to stay put especially in a particular place with the motto "no going backwards, no moving forward". This is something you don't want to happen to you because the experience is not something to write home about. So get up, think out of the box, and make the necessary move.

There are so many things that one can get stuck in as they come in various forms. Imagine you having a target to reach a particular height in your career. And then you go on and on making spectacular progress only to get to a point that will amount to a turning point, and then it appears there's a standstill somewhere, and you are like what the hell! Sometimes, when it gets to this point, there are many thought patterns to draw from this: It could be that you need to review your steps and launch out again. It could be that there is a weight that you have acquired along the line that is slowing you down, that you need to let go. It could also be that you need to think out of the box, and go the extramile. May be you need to get refreshed, revitalised, and renewed by taking a break and doing some tour. Perhaps, you need to seek the aid of the supernatural. The above and lots more could be an eye opener!

Furthermore, you may be handling a project that has a time frame which by the end of it, something is expected to spring (come) out of it. And then you give to it, put in your best, time, and efforts into it. The good thing about it is that it keeps moving from one success to the other, and then comes a moment in your life when you are expected to experience a major breakthrough that will change your life forever, and then there's a pause or delay somewhere that you just can't explain. And you are like what happened or what is happening? Where did I go wrong? We've all been there at one point in time in our lives.

I guess I need to quickly chip in this: sometimes, at the verge of a major breakthrough, one may begin to experience some challenges, delays and some irregularities that if someone doesn't take care or manage it properly, one may decide to quit. But how can one come so far, and what comes next is a thought to quit? Yeah, others may want to, but you don't have to. There's always a way out if you search deep within your heart. Just don't get stuck where you are, keep marching forward!

Major occurrences or events that are capable of making us ask why, are there to build us up for the next phase of life, so that we can be matured enough to carry the weight of the responsibility that comes with it. When we don't understand these fundamental truths, we begin to look for short cuts or who or what to put the blame on, instead of moving on. I always have this philosophy that keeps me going inspite of what comes my way, and it says: if one way doesn't work out, try out the next one as long as you don't get stuck, and would still remember your source. So whatever philosophy you choose to come up with, just make sure you don't get stuck! #Stuck #Delay #Standstill #Options #Move #Think out of the box #Refresh #Next phase #Source #Don't get stuck.

Laughter Therapy

Laughter is the activity of showing or feeling mirth or pleasure or happiness. It is also an activity that expresses the manifestation of joy, excitement, or scorn. Laughter is a medicine to the soul. It is therapeutic. It prevents strains, unnecessary aging..., and eases off pressure. A therapy on the other hand is the act of caring for someone which could be in the form of medication or remedial training etc.

Studies and researches have shown that laughter is the solution to some health challenges which unknown to us, we take piles of medication, only to discover that a mere laughter could prevent such health disorder. We don't laugh because we want to, we laugh because it is helpful, healthy, and worthwhile to the body system.

Most people today are too serious chasing after one thing or the other, that they forget to introduce or add laughter into their program. The issue is not the busy schedule, business activity, work etc, but not knowing when to loosen up, relax, and laugh. For some of us, we think that unless we become too serious, work, business and other activities won't go on. Hello workaholic! You need a break, and that break is laughter.

Laughter colours your world. It shows a sense of belonging, expresses a sigh of relief, heals some pain especially emotional stress. It helps to reduce wrinkles in the body. It also aid the heart beat, prevent depression, and other negative tendencies.

People who laugh when they should, help to boost their life span. You look good when you smile. As a matter of fact, there's no way you can become a saddist when you smile often because saddist themselves would be far from you. Laughter in its right order, leaves you with an open mind, and opens up doors of favour and opportunities where those who frown a lot cannot enter. It endears you to great friends, well wishers, and even your enemies would have no choice at times than to be a blessing to you. However, I need to state categorically that it is not all laughter's that are ment for happiness or mirth, some are ment to scorn. Let me shed (throw) more light here.

Not all laughter's are designed to heal or are healthy or necessary at a given period of time. Some are ment to scorn, inflict pain, cause damage..., and ruin a just course. So instead of the laughter achieving what it should naturally do to the body system, it ends up doing the reverse. People should be careful and know where to draw the line in certain laughters. Balance is the keyword!

Whichever way you look at it, laughter is essential in our daily lives. And the ability to know when and where to apply it, makes you on top of your game. People who laugh, live longer and age lesser! #Mirth #Happiness #Joy #Excitement #Pleasure #Laughter #Medication #Therapy #Health.

Light Amidst Darkness

Light in the terms of physics is an electromagnetic radiation that can produce a visual sensation. To light up something is to illuminate it. If it is not giving you illumination, then it is not light. Tunnel on the other hand is a passageway through or under something, usually underground. It can be likened to a confinement. Yet, it cannot stop light from shinning through it, where there is illumination.

Light is not the absence of darkness but the the dominance of light over darkness, in such a way that once, light steps in, darkness has no chioce than to disappear. Sometimes, the intention of the light is not to chase the darkness but the darkness itself just can't help or stand it, as it is being chased away even by the slightest ray of light. This is to show the uniqueness of light amidst darkness. And what does it suggest to us? It doesn't matter the amount of darkness around you or militataing against you, as long as you represent the light, even in the midst of darkness and obscurity, you would still shine.

Many at times, we spend much time magnifying the darkness around us instead of making efforts to become more of the light. Darkness doesn't respond to any other language than the light, no matter your status, position, or pedigree in life. Therefore, your (our) focus should not be centred on the darkness but on how you (we) can become the light, because darkness will always be darkness.

I know when the word darkness is mentioned, what comes to the minds of certain people is the negative, especially those who attach so many meanings to certain term or word. Please follow me closely with an open mind.

Darkness as used in this context is not in any ways referring to people who do not share the same belief system with us. Neither is darkness referred to people who according to us are labelled sinners, because we have certain perspective about such persons. What if I told you that some darkness are necessary evils, because without them, there won't be opportunity to shine your light. Now, here is what I mean by darkness:

Darkness is knowing the truth in all its ramifications and still never acknowledging that it is the truth. Darkness is when someone is pretending to be a sheep whereas such person (s) is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Darkness is anything that has experienced darkness and light but chooses to remain in the dark. Darkness is anything, activities..., that does not support the growth and development of any institution or organization etc, but delights or take pleasure in its failure. I can go on and on...

From the above, it is plain to see that darkness cannot chase away darkness, except the true light. When you (we) become the light, darkness will have no place to hide among us. Anything less, would amount to chasing shadows! #Radiation #Illumination #Dominance #Light #Obscurity #Necessary evils #Darkness.

The Tongue

The tongue is the smallest part of the body system and also one of the five sense organs we have, as it is responsible for taste. To describe the tongue, one can say that the tongue, is a mobile mass of mascular tissue covered with mucous membrane and located in the oral cavity. Small, you would say but powerful as you can never underestimate the power and display of the tongue.

If there's anything to be careful about, it is the tongue. It can destroy things within a second, and it can build up again. It can add fuel to fire, and it can add water to drought. It can bring down a house that is united if not checked. It can ruin marriages if not controlled. It can make cold good time relationships if not seasoned. It can turn homes upsidedown if not placed in order. It can make people fight before they realise that there is actually nothing to fight about. It can create enemity between two brothers or sisters who love themselves very much if not tamed. It can cause darkness, and it can give light. It can kill and it can make alive. It can make broken and it can mend the broken. It can make you cry and it can make you laugh. It can make your spirit low and it can uplift your spirit. It can make one fail and it can make one pass his/her examinations. It can discredit and it can commend (credit) you.

Do I hear that the tongue is small? Other parts of the body can easily be tamed but the tongue needs special attention. The tongue needs conscious, deliberate attempt to ensure effective taming. First, it has to start from the mind.

As he thinks in his heart, so is he... The tongue functions hand in hand with the mind. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Sometimes, I ask myself, why do people get irrational at times, and I am like why can't certain people just learn how to control their tongue until a matter gets out of hand? Look no further, it begins with the mind. Whatever you want to speak about has first registered in the mind, and has been processed before it comes out of the mouth.

Some other times, some people don't think or reason before they talk. They feel its their right to talk any how, as some of them had tagged it freedom of speech. But the so called freedom of speech is a right of expression restricted by the rights of other persons. So it is adviceable that before anyone speaks, such person (s) should think properly and reason out facts, what you call common sense before dishing it out, so as not to create more problems than they already existed.

Knowing when to resolve or create a balance as we go about certain findings, quest..., lies in the power of your mind and tongue. So I would rather use my tongue wisely and enjoy its fruits than otherwise...It doesn't take anything from you to use the tongue wisely but takes a lot when used inappropriately. Never underestimate the power of your tongue! #The tongue #Small #Powerful #Sense organ #Speech #Think #Reason #Mind.

Created To Be

Have you ever cared to ask certain questions like who am I? Who was I created to be? For what purpose do I exist to fulfill? Am I really exploring the hidden talents or potentials within me? What really drives me? What am I living for? Who do I see myself as? Who do people say I am, and who do I say I am?

Identity is key word in any organized system, and its importance cannot be overemphasized. We need to get to the point where our lives are no longer determined by what other people label us as but by what we see ourselves as. And for this to be effective, you need to know who you truly are.

Yeah, sometimes life throws so many things at you that makes you want to doubt your true person. And for some of us, the cares of this life, the pressure from family, the chase after money, the various responsibilities we have to put up with, the need to meet up with certain targets or deadlines..., tend to militatate against or challenge the true persons we were created to be. Some may even say: what would discovering who I am fetch me? Is it going to put food on my table? Is it going to pay my bills? Is it going to take care of my immediate, short term and long term needs?

The above questions and lots more are some of the questions certain persons may want to put forth as an excuse to not discovering who they truly are. But still it doesn't change the subject matter as to who I was created to be.

To be realistic, life is not that easy as you have to keep up with diverse responsibilities. But it can be easy if you find, discover or search out those things you like or enjoy doing such that even when working at it, you derive pleasure, and at the same time getting returns from it. It is the above feature that motivates you forward such that even when you are stressed out, you don't wear out because you are in the centre of your purpose.

The everyday routine of life will never cease. There would always be one need or the other to meet. Responsibilities will always be there, and may increase as one steps into a new level. No amount of money would satisfy anyone, as there would always be more to aspire for.

If after the chase of worldly gains, and the cares of life, and we still haven't discovered who we are, it would amount to wasting of precious time on planet earth, because nothing last forever except that of eternal value. Though at the earlier stage, it's not that easy following, but as you continue in your purpose, certain things begin to fall in pleasant places which may be immediate, short term, or long term. And who says your purpose can't sustain all your needs, when you follow it judiciously? May be I should ask again: what were you created to be? The question is mine and yours to answer... #Identity #Potential #Drive #Hidden talent #Purpose.

The Lesson

Life is a teacher! It offers various lessons as each day go by... When people leave you, pick the lessons. And when people step into your life, let the lessons flow...

A lesson is a unit of instruction. In broader terms, it can be referred to as an experience gathered from an occurrence or a moral gotten from an act of coaching, tutoring mentorship, event, circumstance, test, trials etc. We all learn lessons one way or the other from different test or trials life puts us through. While some persons may decide to turn these lessons into an advantage, some may decide to ignore the lessons, while dwelling on the past or continue life the way they see it with no adjustment or virtues to uphold. Anyone who doesn't learn his/her lessons from life's teachings, will never grow or know how to handle life's challenges when it surfaces again. We go through what we go through, so we can learn from it, become wiser and stronger, as well as guard against future reoccurrence of such experience (s).

Almost everything around us teaches us a lesson. The friends we keep, the people we meet, the family we hail from, our children, the relationships we maintain, the books we read, our environment, even plants and animals. The question is, are we really learning these lessons that life throws at us or we just waive them by and get along with life just like that? If you don't learn your lessons when you need to, you may have to learn it the hard way. Lessons are not ment to purnish us but to make us better.

Whether you like it or not, offences will come. Some persons would find reasons to walk away, and some other persons will find a thousand and one reasons to remain with you. Some events will take place, both expected and unexpected, and certain decisions would be taken as well as lesson learnt. There would be times when you would make some mistakes, but you gotta learn from it and move on. Some friends would turn their backs on you for one reason or the other, but you gotta pick yourself up again, and learn the lessons from it, and forge ahead. Disappointments sometimes would happen. Learn your lessons from it, and get over it. Some would deny or despise you, but you have to shake yourself from the dust, learn the lessons you need to learn from it and move on.

Lessons are for a life time. It helps you to be wiser and smarter in your dealings with people. Take away lessons from your normal routines, and it would be an empty route with nothing to look forward to. Lessons give drive to life and makes it worthwhile.

What are your experiences in life? What things appear fresh in your mind such that you can't let go or forget in a hurry? See them as lessons to be learnt in life, walk pass with your head up high, resolving never to be controlled by it, but propelled by it to being the best you can. #Event #Circumstances #Occurrences #Experiences #Coaching #Tutoring #Mentoring #Test #Life time.

Does It Correlate?

So many times we try to hold on tight to certain things, places, people, business, job, relationship, friendship, belief system..., as if our lives depend solely on it. Well I am sorry to burst your bubbles, but I am here to announce to you that some things and what have you, you hold in high esteem or closely, needs some review to check its correlation with your dreams, visions, aspirations, goals, objectives, principles etc.

Let's start this way. That man, woman, boy, girl, friend, well wisher..., you have in your life, where does it fall into in your diary, plans, goals, aspiration, life..., both short term or long term? Does such person's activities, routines, lifestyle, do and don'ts, direction, purpose etc, match in anyways with yours? If the answer is yes, you can hold on to it and manage the relationship, at least deal with the weaknesses. But if it doesn't in anyways correlate, no matter how endeared or hooked up you are to such relationships, it's time to let it go, unless you want to keep hurting and draging backwards. What is the essence of a hurt, if there is no provision for healing. If it hurts me, one way or the other, it should be able to heal me one way or the other, less I call it quit.

Furthermore, that contract, proposal, deal, etc, you are about to sign into or you are already into, ask yourself: is it making me better or worst? Where can I place (rank) it presently? Is it going backwards or moving forward? Has it fared well in the past? Why is it where it is presently? Is there anything I can do to restore its lost glory or boost it up again? Is it ready to adapt to changes, improvements or new developments? Can I take the risk? Does it still care about my aspirations? Is it open minded?

And for the ones I am about to enter into, does it have a promising future? What is its watchword? Do I know some considerable fact about it? Will it block others or future ones from coming my way? Can I handle its strength and weakness? All of these and much more are the basic facts that one has to look out for when one is already in one form of relationship or the other or when one is about to enter such relationships. Failure to ascertain all these, may lead to setback or hasty conclusion that all others are the same, thereby making one stuck in something he/she should get out of should he/she know better.

Sentiments apart! If you have given anything room in your life, watched them closely, tried to figure out their direction, way of life (lifestyle), conduct, etc, matched it with yours, tried possible means within your power to get them on track, and yet it still does not correlate, waste no time further. It's time to take that sensitive decision! Let it go!! #Relationship #Friendship #Work #Business #Belief system #Correlation #Sensitive decision.

Acknowledgements

No amount of sentiment can outshine anything worthwhile. Give it names but it still doesn't change the fact that it is worthwhile (+ Uche Adiogu).

Acknowledgement is the state or quality of being recognised. In other words, it is a way of saying that something is true or admitting the existence or reality or truth of a particular thing, event or occurrence.

Acknowledgements as a quality of being recognised is an unbiased state of declaring that something or somebody is worth an approval, applaud, award, honor etc, whether you like such thing, person..., or not. Most of the time, we let sentiments get in the way when making certain commendations. Everybody wants what will benefit them but nobody is asking whether the benefits are appropriate or suitable at such times, or whether such individual, person (s), people or group of people on which certain conferments are made, are the ones suitable for such conferments.

What do we see today? People recommending their own for a given position or conferment knowing  fully well that such persons are not fit to handle such positions or conferment. Off course, what do you expect these categories of persons to do? They go there with a different mindset. A mindset to get what they can acquire, and not what the conferment requires of them. It's no longer a new thing as it has spread all over the places to the extent that some people are beginning to see it as a way of life.

The latest is the term: "Fighting corruption", and you begin to ask what is this corruption we are fighting when the people fighting corruption is corrupt one way or the other. No doubts! It is good to uphold integrity, as well as combat corruption where found. But the emphasis here is what are we looking at as corruption? Is it an opposition between two parties because they don't like themselves or the mere intent of doing the right thing. The clearer these things are spelt out, the more results it achieve.

First, it starts from the home front. Charity, they say begins at home. Teaching children how to imbibe good  morals such as: don't covet what belongs to another; don't steal; be of good conduct; render services to humanity when you can without expecting anything in return; don't join bad gangs; don't be influenced by negative people when you find yourself in their midst, instead be the influencer; report anything strange you feel is not worthwhile rather than be part of it, and so on and so forth.

Until we start from the grassroot (basics) certain things are bound to continue because the corrupt rich in quote wants to get richer while the untrained poor in quote, once he/she sees an opportunity, corruption becomes a choice embrace. Instilling the right virtues is not what somebody wakes up suddenly and starts to do. It starts with the little habits, attitude, behavioural tendencies, conduct, routines, activities..., we indulge in. To wrap it up, whatever that is conferred on you, if it is not ment for you, instead of adding to you, only takes away from you. Acknowledgements are not signs of weakness but strength. When you see something worthy of recognition and you approve of it whether you like the person or not, it only reveals how matured you are. #Recognition #Admitting #Approval #Award #Honour #Recommendation #Acknowledgements #Different mindset #Corruption.

Finding a Way Out

If you have never gotten stuck in life before, then you would not know or appreciate what it means to find a way out. But if you've experienced such before, you are the one I am speaking to because you know what it feels like and how uneasy it could be.

Sometimes unexpected events would occur or take place. I mean the one that is capable of throwing you off balance if not properly handled and managed effectively. Your response to these challenges when they surface will either elevate you or demote you, hence you gotta find a way out.

To find a way out is to search for an opening that permits escape or release. This is why it's not the best to put all your eggs into one basket. It's safer to spread your tentacles. Reasons are, if you don't, should anything happen to it, you may encounter uncessary losses, or experience some delays or time wastage, trying to remedy the situation, unlike when the reverse is the case.

Have you been into something whatever it is, that has being eating you up, and you don't know what line of action to take so you don't lose out? Well, finding a way out is not a suggestion to leave what you are doing or where you are presently when you've not gotten a replacement or a firm alternative. Finding a way out simply suggests some sort of preparation against the rainy day. Whether you like it or not, as the sun shines, so will the rain fall. It is your preparation that enables you weather the storms of life.

Sometimes, it's not an easy task to uphold. And sometimes, you want to play safe so you don't end up in a lose lose paradigm. This is quite understandable because we are humans. We have to think rationally. It is the ability to think rationally that helps you decide on sensitive decisions. Whatever the decision is, be sure it is helping you find ways out of every limitations.

It is not all about the amount you have or don't have. It's about making up your mind to succeed. In all my life experiences, I've learnt to abound and I have learnt to abase. It's about operating in wisdom. It enables you to use what you have in your hand and make it grand. And then you would see the multiplication flow.

It is a fact that we don't all operate at the same level. Don't try to be someone else. Be yourself. Know who you are, your tendencies, what you are capable of doing..., and where you are going... This helps to foster the search for the way to greater heights. Some people who are on top today, started from small. There were times they encounter tough times. But it was because they found a way out, that's why they are where they are today. So when you are confronted with oppositions, be optimistic. Keep an open mind. Instead of a draw back, engage your mind out of such limitations and sooner or later, you would experience an open door. #Challenges #Experiences #Limitations #Search #Opening #Escape #Sensitive decisions #Optimism #Open mind.

Work-In-Progress

Work-in-progress is a term used to describe that certain life activities, business, work..., is still in the making, or undergoing the processes, and as such, has not reached its finished product or meet its target yet.

As long as you are on planet earth, it doesn't matter the amount of money, wealth, houses, possessions, treasures..., you have, you are still a work in progress. Meaning that you have not explore all the potentials within you. The day you finish exploring all the potentials within you, that day you cease to exist. So if anyone feels he/she has arrived, then such person (s) should not be on planet earth. As a matter of fact, such persons should not be existing.

In the world that we live in today, there are a lot of things that makes us different from one another, yet we are still in the making. Some are richer than the other while some are wiser than the other. Some are more endowed than the other while some are more experienced than the other. Some are more educated than the other while some are more connected than the other. Some are more homely than the other while some are more exposed than the other. Some are white collar job specialist while some are business oriented or business tycoons. Some are footballers while some are sports analyst. Some are corporate oriented while some are traditionally (cultural) inclined. Some are inventors while some are incubators. Some are idealist while some are  practicalist. Some are builders while some are managers. Some are achitects, while some are developers. Some are agents while some are professionals. Some are teachers while some are doctors. Some are farmers while some are poultry men. Some are estate surveyors while others are lawyers. Some are politicians while some are activist. Some are masters while some are servents. Some are stockbrokers while some are shareholders... Each of us has one or two areas where we fit in. You are either in one or in the other, looking forward to better days.

Therefore, no one has the exclusive power to insult the other or feel superior because of one position or money or the other when in essence such person (s ) is still a work-in-progress. When you understand that you are a work-in-progress, no body would be able to quench your quest for greater heights. And if anyone feels he/she is now the dawn, so people should worship them or people cannot aspire to be greater or better than yesterday, such persons should park their bag and baggages and stop existing.

Determination they say leads to success. So if you are determined to get to where you wonna be (place of destiny), you are bound to move forward, and nothing is strong enough to stop you, when your mind is made up. #Life #Business #Work #Activities #Potentials #Work-in-progress #Planet earth #Target #Finished product #Determination #Moving forward #Success.

It's a Matter of Time

Time they say would tell, just like they say time heals a wound... But the good thing about it is that it won't be long and time would finally tell. This is to say that our lives are like the news letters people read or like the television people watch. We cannot hide from our true selves forever, and even if we try to conceal it, it won't be for too long, because the real you would come to the open, one way or the other. It's a matter of time!

I've learnt over time not to impose myself on people. Consequently, I've also learnt by experiences of life not to try too hard to explain myself to people in areas where I know it won't get anywhere. Time is of the essence, and if certain persons don't seem to understand my lifestyle, my ways, priorities, what catches my fancy..., even in the event of time, then I don't know how else to get them to understand. After all, nothing you ever do to the human race that will satisfy them. So why fret over certain persons who concentrate on finding faults when there's life to live.

You cannot please everybody. You are human in nature with a body, soul, and spirit. So no matter how powerful you think you are, yet you can only do your best and leave the rest. Sometimes, people expect a lot from you thinking you are a robot or an automated machine. And when you seem not to meet up with their demands, they attach a lot of meanings and interpretations to it, calling you names and saying a lot of unwholesome things about you like it's their right and their world. But you know what? If it didn't turn you into pieces, it only suggest that you have carved, designed, built, and developed inner capacity to accommodate the challenge. It's a matter of time, and people would see the real you emerge.

Have you ever wondered why certain people never fade away, no matter what life throws at them. When you are good at what you know how to do best, even if the whole world is against you, as long as God is not against you, you are bound to excel(succeed) in life, because even life itself would stand in ovation for your sake to corronate or aid you. People who never fade away with time are people who have studied the times, learn from what makes others fade away and what keeps some others moving on, and are able to make the necessary adjustments to suit the times. It has nothing to do with what you have or don't have. Neither does it have anything to do with educational background, religious background, family background, social class, environment and what have you. But it has a lot to do with flexibility and keeping an open mind.

We cannot cling on so tightly on certain belief system and expect an overnight turnaround. It doesn't work that way. Even in value, something is not just worth its while, simply because it offers you value for money. But the ability of you coming back requesting for more is what certifies it as worthwhile. If you keep doing what you know how best to do with an open mind, don't fret, it's matter of time and the real you will be on the spot light. #Challenge #Inner capacity #Accomodation #Adjustments #Value #Open mind #Ovation #Spotlight #It's a matter of time.

Loyalty Or Eye Service

Loyalty is the quality of being steadfast in allegiance or duty. It is a high level of commitment that confers on the loyalist a sense of responsibility leading to trustworthiness. On the other hand, eye service is a tendency that propels an individual, person(s), people or group of people into doing what they think is worthwhile in the presence of those ahead of them. For example: Bosses, Supervisors, Managers..., but when these persons are not around, the reverse becomes the case. That is to say that they do nothing or do the opposite of the word worthwhile. It also applies in relationships or friendships where the confidants or the parties involved show a sense of commitment when the other is around. But when he/she is not around, the story becomes different. It speaks of falsehood! The one that is even worst is when such person(s) cannot say it in your presence but says it at your back to spite you. It is likened to betrayal!!

People are better appreciated when such person(s) come out straight saying: This is who I am... That way you already know who the person is, what the problem is, and as such it becomes easier to look for solution or map out possible means or strategy to help such person(s) rather than the otherwise.

For how long would people pretend to be what they are not? No one can hide from his/her true self for long. Someday, the true colour would show. It is a clear fact that we all have weaknesses as well as strength. This has nothing to do with loyalty or eye service. The emphasis here is pretending to be what somebody is not, or pretending to be loyal whereas disloyalty is the order of the day(eye service).

Don't sweat over it! Take out time to do some surprise turn ups unannounced. It would shock you at what would be revealed to you about some persons who you thought were loyal to you or were friends to you but are just fair weather friends or people. The difference between loyalty and eye service is attitude factor.

Loyalty does not in any way suggest that one does not have his/her own interest or life to live. It simply means that amidst your personal interest, you are still able to gain control of yourself as to show dedication or pay allegiance to whom it is due. Come to think of it, who are we trying to impress when you can actually be yourself(free), and still be loyal.

True slavery is expressed in the form of eye service, because that is where you are not free to express yourself, but trying to impress which in turn takes a lot of energy from you than when you are loyal whether the person is around or not.

Life is two ways: you lend a hand of support to someone, and someone in return reaches out to you. Sometimes, we don't determine how, or the way or method these things come to be(happen), but loyalty can. It is just a principle: The law of give and take! So, which would you prefer? Loyalty or eye service? The choice is yours... #Steadfast #Allegiance #Duty #Committment #Dedication #Trustworthiness #Loyalty #Falsehood #Trying to impress #Slavery.

Enough Is Enough

Don't waste wholesome time searching for who is right and who is not right when there are so many needs in the world today to be met. You are the only one that can say enough is enough to anything that seems to weigh you down. No matter the motivation or inspiration we receive day in day out if we don't make up our minds to succeed or come out of our shells, nothing happens.

Don't think heaven will fall on you on a platter of gold if you don't show any sign that you want such blessings or at least make some efforts to breaking free. Although, miracles do happen but God is not a magician. He uses what you have: your talents, giftings, endowments, skills, experiences, ideas, knowledge, wisdom..., to get you to where you need to be in life. Sometimes, the processes may not be that smooth, and sometimes, there would be some delays... Nevertheless, whatever that is destined to be would be if you don't give up, and keep staying focused.

You've got to rise up and say enough is enough to that circumstance that has lingered over time, and think out of the box, asking yourself the reason why certain events or occurrences happen the way they did and how they can be checked or how you can get answers or solutions to such issues or problems. Yes, people will support you but then you have to take the bold step by making people see your determination, what you believe in and stand up for; as well as the efforts you are putting in it. This is where help steps in from various sources you never imagine such that the forces of life comes to one's aid in difficult times.

You don't have to wait until it is big before you make that move. It can start from the small, and then grow into the big. It is not a matter of trying to impress, cover up or show off what one doesn't have. It is a matter of searching deep within, identifying potentials, seeing opportunities where others don't see it, even in strange places, then taking decisions, and making that bold step to lunch out with the resources available to you.

Remember, you are not trying to impress anyone, so you don't have to be ashamed of what they would say considering the resources you have at your disposal. It might interest you to know that majority of the people don't care how you go about it, neither do some see you coming out of the situation. Some would stand by you no matter how small or big they are able to pull in. Some would only come around when they see you making a headway and you begin to wonder where they had been all this while. That is to tell you the nature of the human race. No one cares unless you care to make them care.

So if you know how you want your life to be when you can, don't wait for everybody to approve of it before you take that necessary steps. If you are waiting for the appropriate time, it may never come. You have to make up your mind and say enough is enough! #Solution #Breaking free #Determination #Thinking out of the box #Searching deep #Identifying potentials #Seeing opportunities #Make up your mind #Enough is enough!

Let The Past Be Past

The past is the past, and would always be the past, as it belongs to the past. So don't bring in the past into the new, except that you are certain that it is going to serve as a catalyst to propelling you or moving you forward positively to the next level. Otherwise, let the past stay where it belongs.

For something to be called a past is simply suggesting that it happened earlier than the present, and therefore no longer current. The past has a way of holding back its victims without plans of letting them go. It gives them reasons why they should not see the next level or the future. It gives them reasons why they should not let go until they have avenge all their offenders. Even if an opportunity is staring in front of them, the past resurfaces, flashing back previous hurts, pain, setbacks..., thereby making it difficult for such persons to see ahead of the previous.

By the way, how many people are we going to avenge if we were to commence the excercise, when in the real sense such energies can be converted positively into something productive and worthwhile? Are we going to pay back each of our offenders blow for blow or hate for hate? What a waste of time!

Darling, the truth is that you are the only one that can say no or stop your past. The past never let its captive go. It devices means of playing on the intelligence or mindset of those it holds captive. It knows that the moment they realise they can be free from the shackles of the past, that day the hold of the past comes to an end.

Who says that for the fact that certain expectations were not met in the past, they cannot be met in the present? Who says that that relationships that didn't respond to you previously cannot turn around in your favour in the present? And who says that those things that appear impossible in the past, cannot be made possible now? What makes you think that that past circumstance or situation would still continue in the present, when in reality, nothing ever stays the same?

Sweetheart, I can go on and on if you asked me, but the ball is still in your court. It starts with your mind. Free your mind from the burdens and entanglements of the past. No one will do that for you, no matter the level of motivation or inspiration you get from others. You have to reach a resolve or compromise with yourself that you want to be free irrespective of what is happening in and around you. You become free in deed when you make up your mind to free yourself from past hurts as well as free those who orchestrated it. It is not as easy as ABC, but you need it to launch into the next phase of your life knowing that you are not dragged backwards by weights of the past. Think about it!

New seasons ushers in fresh aunctions. It offers you a blank check to write on it. Never allow past experiences to set the pace when you have the option to be free. Make up your mind today to connect into the realm of the new and let the past be past! #Past #Hurt #Pain #Set backs #Circumstances #New #Present #Current #Mind renewal #Freedom.
